COVID-19 Data Analysis Project

A project focusing on data extraction, exploration and visualization of the COVID-19 effect on a worldwide scale, as well as particularly in the US. The code is available at the Jupyter notebook (.ipynb file).

The goals has been to make use of "real-life" datasets, apply thorough data cleaning and exploration, and eventually, identify emerging trends of the coronavirus pandemic.

Workflow followed

The process I followed has generally been:

• Data import
• Data cleaning, reshaping, quality checks
• Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
• Final interactive visualization on Tableau Software

For the data import & mining I have used wget/ pandas libraries, while for EDA I have also involved matplotlib/ seaborn/ folium. The COVID-19 data is extracted by the John Hopkins University github page, while the country population data are extracted from the United Nations and World Bank latest available datasets.
